   The fact that he wrote these things in his personal diary with no intention of them ever being read really hits me --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's a Law & Order: Criminal Intent about people following Marcus Aurelius' ideals. Pretty good one, IIRC.

His level-headed rationalism and humility is something that calms me (legitimately) during this pandemic. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ ... Copied to Clipboard!

One of the Five Good Emperors, if I'm remembering my Roman history correctly.

There is a statue of him at the university I graduated from. I admire his work.

Out of all the stoics I find his writings the most helpful, though really all of them are worth reading.

I honestly think his philosophy, while clearly "stoic" in the most traditional sense, is really more modern. It's less about being some kind of rational badass and more about being open minded and non-judgmental. --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ ... Copied to Clipboard!
